      <p>Berkeley DB requires only underlying IEEE/ANSI Std 1003.1 (POSIX) system calls and can be
ported easily to new architectures by adding stub routines to connect
the native system interfaces to the Berkeley DB POSIX-style system calls.
See <a class="xref" href="distrib.html#distrib_port" title="Porting Berkeley DB to new architectures">Porting Berkeley DB to new architectures</a> for more information.</p>
      <p>Berkeley DB will autoconfigure and run on almost any modern UNIX, POSIX or
Linux systems, and on most historical UNIX platforms.  Berkeley DB will
autoconfigure and run on almost any GNU gcc toolchain-based embedded
platform, including Cygwin, OpenLinux and others.  See
<a class="xref" href="build_unix.html#build_unix_intro" title="Building for UNIX/POSIX">Building for UNIX/POSIX</a> for
more information.</p>
      <p>The Berkeley DB distribution includes support for QNX Neutrino.  See
<a class="xref" href="build_unix.html#build_unix_intro" title="Building for UNIX/POSIX">Building for UNIX/POSIX</a> for
more information.</p>
      <p>The Berkeley DB distribution includes support for VxWorks.  See
<a class="xref" href="build_vxworks_intro6x.html" title="Building for VxWorks 6.x">Building for VxWorks 6.x</a> 
for more information.</p>
      <p>The Berkeley DB distribution includes support for Windows/NT, 
    Windows/2000 and Windows/XP, via the Microsoft Visual C++
6.0 and .NET development environments.  See
